Welcome to Accounting Firm Coach Office Hours presented by Canopy. I’m Jason Staats. Ready to get 1% better at running an accounting firm? In this episode, I break down the AI settings every accounting firm should understand, including four levels of security for Claude and ChatGPT. Then we look at a $1.2 million book of business for sale, the biggest accounting app updates from the last three weeks, and some not-so-nice internet comments in 👿 Mean Bag. Finally, I answer your 📬 Mailbag questions about delivering premium service at budget prices, knowing when to walk away from a firm that refuses to change, and deciding which accounting communities are actually worth your time.
